How widely exploitable is this vulnerability?

Exploitability is constrained to attackers who can influence the network between Errands and the CalDAV server, such as those controlling a local Wi-Fi network, router, or DNS infrastructure. Over fully trusted and well-controlled networks, the practical risk is reduced but not eliminated.

Does an attacker need credentials or local access to the device?

No direct access to the device or credentials is required. The primary prerequisite is the ability to observe and modify network traffic or redirect Errands to an attacker-controlled endpoint.

What is the safest general fix pattern?

The safest approach is to enforce strict TLS certificate validation for all HTTPS connections to CalDAV servers, relying on trusted CA stores and hostname verification, without using "accept all" or validation-bypassing configurations.
